I've purchased the following key components for a new build:

  • AMD FX8350
    Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 Motherboard
    Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10

I noticed in the motherboard's user guide that the RAM I purchased isn't listed on the 'officially approved' list of RAM modules. In fact the list is quite limited, but I am assuming that is because the guide only lists the most popular modules at the time of publishing.

My main questions is: Will the Corsair CML16GX3M2A1600C10 RAM:
1) work fine
2) Work with a negligible reduction in performance
3) wont work at all

Really appreciate your answers as I've just come back to PC building after ten years!

Great thanks. The PC is being used as heavy usage office pc with weekly reports that when they run, the create so much drain the existing PC it blue screens and dies. The point of the PC is to never struggle when these reports are processed. I think the 1600 modules will be more than sufficient.

Many thanks for your help.
